(The entries in question are 702894 on "want to" analysed as a unit and 757781 on Amy's auxiliary-less passive in German.)

Answer: you get this sentence which she uttered last night - "I don't want to tucked in!"

An auxiliary-less passive with "want to", again apparently showing that the "to" belongs with the "want" for her, rather than with the (elided in this sentence) "be".

So, I had a look at icanhascheezburger.com and paged back... and further back... and further back.

And Stella eventually said, wow, you seem to have found the funnies page today; you've been laughing so often. What are you looking at?

So, how to explain lolcats in German? ("Pictures? With captions? Like what do they say?" ... uh, mostly untranslatable puns, I guess.) Anyway.

But the one that had me laughing most (so far) was this one:

iz a LOLipop. getz it? LOLipop? i crackz me up
more animals

That one literally had me laughing out loud for nearly a minute. It really cracked me up, it did.

Heh. LOLipop.
